This is a 24inch curved gaming monitor from AOC as the title might tell you. While I have other curved monitors including the first TV that was widely available in the UK they have all been substantially larger than the 24inches of this offering.

Solid colors due to the VA panel, but beware that the compared to a TN panel this monitor isn't as fast; the curve is very subtle but noticeable and surprisingly enjoyable. The build quality is pretty good and it's overall one of the best monitors in its price range out there.

The AOC G24G1 is one of the smallest and most affordable gaming monitors that I've recently seen. You don't find many gaming screens that cost less than £200, but this panel manages it – and it keeps the price low while including 144Hz AMD FreeSync and a solid range of features elsewhere.

144Hz AMD FreeSync; Stunning contrast; Solid adjustment options

Poor colour accuracy; Bad uniformity; No speakers or USB

The adjustable stand is heavy and good quality. The screen moves up and down with one finger. Picture is vibrant and viewing angles are better than TN screens. Contrast is good and games look great for a 1080p screen. No ghosting or colour banding. Ideal for gaming with a low response time.

I bought this because of the price drop, and needed a 144hz monitor anyway, and I was not let down. I currently use it for my PS4 since my PC hasnt arrived yet, but needed something better than my 75hz BenQ. This is my first experience with a curved monitor and I don't think i'll ever go back.

Bought as the cheapest 144hz 1080p monitor around, and certainly, don't regret doing so. Limited reviews online made me worried it might not be that good, but so far I've found it comparable to other monitors I own that cost a few hundred more.

For years, the AOC G2460PF has been sitting atop our best gaming monitor list unchallenged and undefeated. With its sub-£200 / $200 price, 144Hz refresh rate and superb TN panel, it's by far one of the best screens around for those on a budget.
